Weight Training Safety

Training is not just about heavy weights but also of weight training safety. What is the most common reason for injuries? Contrary to most people's beliefs, it's neither the amount of weight being used nor the speed at which the exercise is being performed. It's the technique or form that has the greatest impact on potential injuries. Granted a bodybuilder using heavy weights to build muscle mass, would probably suffer greater damage if an injury were to occur, but as long as good form is followed, those individuals is at no greater risk than the person using lighter poundage and achieve weight training safety.

Sudden starts or stops place tremendous strain on the athlete's musculoskeletal system and compromises weight training safety. This is why most chest injuries occur at the bottom of the movement, at the point where the bar is changing direction and exploding off the chest. In fact bouncing or jerking the bar up puts more stress on the chest muscles than if the person were to place more weight on the bar and do the exercise in a controlled manner. Yet go into any gym and observe bench-press technique. You will see bench pressers dropping the bar to their chest as fast as gravity can carry it, then bouncing it back up. Such technique places tremendous stress on the area where the chest muscles and shoulder muscles meet. This area is very susceptible to injury in the form of muscle tears. As well, the pectoral tendons may tear away from where they insert in the upper arms. An injury due to disregard to weight training safety methods

Not to be biased against the bench press, the squat can provide some unique entertainment and compromise to weight training safety too. As with bench-pressing, most injuries occur at the bottom of the movement, as the direction of movement reverses. Proper form means squatting in a slow and controlled manner, bending the knees and descending to the floor, not dropping straight down and then bouncing back up. Otherwise you lose about 50 percent of the benefit of the exercise at the cost of weight training safety, and more important, place tremendous forces on the supporting structures of the legs and back.

Another area that gets risked in weight training safety by bodybuilders is the biceps and associated tendons when trying to build muscle mass. The arms are considered the universal glamour muscle and it's safe to say that every serious bodybuilder wants bigger arms. The preacher curl gets loaded to capacity, and sooner or later one of two accidents will occur. At the very least, you will tear one of the biceps heads. Besides being painful, full recovery takes several months, necessitating a drastic alteration in your training schedule. The biceps is attached to one of the forearm bones by a tendon. If excessive force is placed on this area, the biceps may tear away from the tendon. More often than not the biceps/tendon structure tears away from the forearm bone. In both cases surgery is required for recovery. The two parts don't magically reattach. Some of bodybuilding's greatest stars have suffered biceps/tendon tears. The best cure is prevention. Perform the exercise in a controlled manner, and don't take chances with weight training safety. Give it time. Before long you will be using large poundage and in much better style.
